Former graft buster charged with corruption
Print Edition
A FORMER top graft buster in south China’s Guangdong Province is to be prosecuted on charges of bribery and interfering in corruption investigations, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said yesterday.
Zhong Shixian, who was head of Guangdong’s corruption prevention bureau, has been expelled from the Party and the case handed over to legal authorities the commission said.
“Zhong Shixian was a leading cadre in the discipline commission and ought to have remembered well the Party’s aims, been a model of upholding party discipline and being honest and upright,” it said in a statement.
“But he broke discipline in the course of promoting it, broke the law while knowing what the law was,” the commission claimed, describing what he is alleged to have done as “vile.”
The commission said it had found that Zhong had interfered in cases, leaked details of investigations to those being investigated, took bribes and gave bribes in exchange for promotions, among other crimes.
Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong, is one of China’s export powerhouse provinces and most developed regions.
President Xi Jinping has declared war on corruption at all levels in China, and scores of senior officials have been brought down by the campaign.
